Leaving
Okay hi, So this is the last time I get to write a post on this page. It’s a really weird feeling really, like another one of those ‘this is the last time this will ever happen’ moments that seem to be popular at the moment. It’s funny really though, because where leaving college to […]
A Stage of In Between
Okay hi, So it’s the Easter holidays. It kind of feels like university is done really. My dissertation is finished and handed in, my viva (a spoken exam about my research project) is done, and all but a few lectures are finished. All I have left of my degree is some exams in May and […]
